When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!
Wednesday:
9.1 on rising
Breakfast: 1/2 avocado and small slice brie

Walk to gym for a 1 hr Hatha yoga class

Black coffee at cafe and I added 2 tsp double cream. Also about 20g brie


40 mins later a yoga for fitness class. Then walk home

6.7 before lunch
2pm 2 duck egg and mushroom omelette
6.1 before tea

1 small ostrich steak, spinach, mange tout, 1 roasted sweet red pepper, onion and mushrooms in a cream and whisky sauce (very small amount so that husband wouldn't notice that his Highland Park malt was used).
Pudding: 1 small strawberry, 12 blueberries, 4 raspberries and dsp clotted cream.

Wonder what my levels will be at 9p.m.?

09.15 and nothing yet - I'm fed up with omelettes, but there's little alternative from what I see in my 'fridge today, however, I do spy one small rasher of bacon! I will try and resist the few remaining slices of rye bread.
Lunch will almost certainly be, as it was yesterday, a salad with some ham, olives and cheese and my evening meal will consist of whatever my wife churns out, with me avoiding the pasta or rice or bread products or sauces or potatoes etc., etc., ad nauseam

My daugher in law is Thai and we have a great time of it with her teaching me recipes. Sometimes the simplest things can be so good:
Thai style omlette:
couple of eggs and one desert spoon of soy sauce per egg - beat.
Crumble in some pork mince, breaking up with a fork until no big lumps (not sure how much just see what it looks like).
Add oil to pan and pour in - don't fiddle with it, just let it cook.

We had that with stir fried vegetables: broccoli, spring onions, bok choi and flavoured with garlic, ginger, chilli and a splodge of soy sauce.
